Upgrading to jfrog-cli 4.5.8 from 4.5.6 broke `jf audit` with workspaces

[trdyer]

Describe the bug

When running a previously working pipeline that called jf audit after upgrading to v4.5.8 I encountered ENOWORKSPACES errors attempting to validate my projects dependencies.

I believe this can be remedied by specifying the folder to scan, but this was not previously required and represents a breaking change.

Current behavior

From Github Actions

[Info] Performing scans on 17 targets:
[
  {

    "technology": "npm"
  },
  {

    "technology": "npm"
  },
// ... and many more

Hi @trdyer,

Thanks for using the JFrog CLI!

Could you try adding the environment variable JFROG_CLI_CLEAN_SUB_MODULES=TRUE before running the audit command?
